Ruth St-Denis and Ted Shawn (Founder of Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival)
The photograph was taken by Franklin Price Knott in 1916. He is one of the first to have a colour image appear in National Geographic Magazine. Ruth St-Denis and her partner and husband Ted Shawn, modern dance pioneers, were best known for the “oriental” productions.
